Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

According to the law of conservation of energy, it is impossible to use 1kW·h of electricity to generate more than 1KW·h of heat. However, if ground source heat pump technology is used, 4KW·h of heat can be generated with 1kW·h of electricity. or cold.

At first glance, this seems to be very magical, and it feels a little bit like a civil science deception, but in fact this is a real technology, and things that can achieve this kind of efficiency can be found everywhere in our lives, among which the most representative It's the air conditioner.

In thermodynamics, the ratio of energy conversion efficiency is called the energy efficiency ratio COP.

Among them, electric heaters, that is, direct electric heating, have the lowest energy efficiency ratio, which is only about 60%, that is, consumes 1KW·h of electricity, and can generate 0.6KW·h of heat.

In addition to electric heating, energy boilers have different energy efficiency ratios according to different fuels. Among them, the energy efficiency ratio of natural gas and oil-fired boilers can reach 0.9, while that of coal-fired boilers is only 0.6.

On the contrary, the energy efficiency ratio of electric heating boilers is quite high, which can reach 0.95, which is the so-called direct use of electric ovens.

It is very efficient to be able to achieve an energy efficiency ratio of 0.9. After all, the law of conservation of energy is stuck here, and it cannot reach 1 anyway.

However, when the air conditioner is cooling, the energy efficiency ratio can reach more than 3.

This does not violate the law of conservation of energy, because the air conditioner uses the refrigerant to transport the heat from the indoor to the outdoor, and the heat it drives is not generated by it, but exists in itself, and the air conditioner just transports it.

In fact, in Yan Kingdom, air conditioners with energy efficiency ratios lower than 2.6~2.8 are not allowed to be sold on the market at all, and only air conditioners with an energy efficiency ratio of 3.2 or higher can be called air conditioners in the true sense.

And understanding this, it is not surprising that the ground source heat pump can achieve an energy efficiency ratio of 4.

As for why air conditioners and ground source heat pumps can achieve such an energy efficiency ratio, it is because they have a series of equipment including compressors, evaporators, condensers, and expansion valves, which are more complicated than boilers and other equipment. a lot of.

But just because there is a whole set of complex equipment, it also brings considerable energy.

Using 1KW·h electricity to bring 4KW·h heat, this is obviously input\u003eoutput.

Looking at this data, Chen Xin couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. He found a piece of paper and a pencil and planned to think about it.

"Using 1KW·h electricity to bring 4KW·h heat, even if only half of the heat is used for heating, it is more profitable than directly using an electric heater or an electric boiler..." Chen Xin scribbled on the paper, he said Not to draw anything, this is just a tool to aid in thinking: "If half of the heat is used for heating, and the remaining half of the heat is recovered and used to generate electricity..."

It doesn't matter what you draw on the paper, what matters is what Chen Xin was thinking about at this time. As he thought about it, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind!

"Even if the efficiency is low, as long as it has an energy efficiency ratio of 0.6, the system can still run on its own!" Chen Xin slapped the table hard, and the whole person became excited.

This is not a nonsense perpetual motion machine, it is just a waste heat recovery power generation that is very common in the industry. Of course, the waste heat recovered by Chen Xin is a bit much, enough to make this equipment self-sustaining.

It is not difficult to achieve this, because after the refrigerant brings heat from the formation, it needs to evaporate and dissipate a lot of heat. There is enough electricity to keep the whole system running, and there is enough heat for heating.

As for the need to drill holes in the ground to realize this system, Chen Xin lives in an underground shelter. Above his head is a layer of soil more than 200 meters thick, which can be about 200 meters underground.

This can be seen from the fact that when the outside temperature of Chen Xin's refuge is -34°C, there is still a temperature of 7°C. If the ventilation system is not constantly ventilating, causing a certain amount of heat loss, The temperature in the shelter could actually be a little higher.

So if Chen Xin wants to use the ground temperature, he doesn't need to be too troublesome, he just needs to bury the pipes in the ground, or even directly into the soil of his planting greenhouse.

Although doing so is likely to cause the soil temperature in the greenhouse to decrease, affecting the growth of crops.

But Chen Xin can just build the system in the soil layer of the greenhouse, and then use the system upgrade to re-plan and bury the pipeline in a deeper layer.

In fact, Chen Xin's entire shelter is wrapped in thick reinforced concrete and thermal insulation layers. If Chen Xin wants to bury the pipeline in the real stratum, he has to penetrate at least 40 cm thick reinforced concrete. of.

Without the help of the system, Chen Xin would simply give up the idea.

After having the system, all Chen Xin needs to do is to use the system to upgrade.

Up to now, Chen Xin has completely understood the horror of this system. Although there is only one simple upgrade function, there are not as many tricks and exchanges as other systems, but it is such a simple function. You can play with flowers.

It is true that the system cannot conjure things out of thin air. There must be basic items as the basis, but in fact, the upgrade of the system is still very scary.

Chen Xin writes novels, and novelists are all monsters with black holes above their necks, and he likes to think, so Chen Xin also tried to analyze the principle of system upgrade.

However, he came to the conclusion that the upgrade of the system is far from storing the high technology as he imagined, and then upgrading and unlocking it step by step.

But a more terrifying concept upgrade.

To give the simplest example, if the system is a technology upgrade, then if Chen Xin has a tree stick, he can choose to process this tree stick into a spear, a stick, a sword or a bow and arrow, and in the subsequent upgrade, add New materials replace it and make it more advanced.

All of this should be traceable and rules to be followed. After all, the development of every technology must have its own pre-technology.

However, although the upgrade of the system seems to be the same, it is actually much more terrifying, because according to the function of blurring the concept of information state attached to the system, Chen Xin analyzed that the so-called upgrade of the system is to change a certain concept in the sense of concept and information. An object becomes stronger.

Since this advanced civilization can modify the information contained in an item and make people think it is reasonable, it can also modify the information contained in the item to make it more conceptual, and Chen Xin's choice of upgrade plan, It is the process of giving concepts.
